    Hey, has there been a discussion here as to what people think about MLB Commish Bud Selig considering a pardon of Pete Rose?
    What do you all think of that idea?

    2. Are you the 8th guy being hunted?

    Gil (2): I think Rose should be admitted to the Hall of Fame but with restrictions. There should be mention of his suspension on his plaque and he shouldn’t be allowed to manage or coach. He should go in based on his record as a player. There was never any link to him gambling as a player.-JD

    Well, tonight’s game is a wash. Day-night doubleheader tomorrow.

    Scott (1): Very good. Thanks for the link.-JD

    4 Nice settlement that would seem to make all sides happy. Let’s hope Congress and the Senate can do the same with health care legislation. Catch you and everybody else tomorrow!

    Game rained out? At least they won’t force the fans to sit thru 2 hours of waiting before calling it.
    I say keep Pete Rose out. He didn’t bet on baseball as a player?? What kinds of odds can you get on that being true? Why should we believe him? He lied about betting as a player for about 15 years before he could get a big enough book deal.

    2, 5, 7: Hope they catch you soon. We all know how happy you will be when reunited with your buddies. God Bless America.

    Omar had another press conf today and says he and Rubin squared things. Good. Now maybe Omar can find us a pitcher.

    I guess everybody heres got a 9-5 job. Mets up 5-0 with a second inning explosion. Gotta go now.

    it is easier to renege on an earlier agreement when the other party is dead.
